Rutherglen Town Hall

Tuesday 26th October. Rutherglen Town Hall

Back in Scotland yet again. A 7.30am start from home gets us to Rutherglen bang on time at 11.00am for what should be a very easy get in. Rutherglen is a typical town hall venue which does pose us some problems. There are no wings as such which means we cant get any props on stage at all. Hey ho, not the end of the world, but with the added complication of stage exit only on stage right, a lot of thinking needs to be done as we go through the show.

Fay our dance captain is now enjoying some sunshine in Spain, and therefore we bring in Gemma Edmundson. Gemma has done quite a few contracts with us, but more recently has become more involved with choreography. It is a pleasure to see her when we arrive, and straight away the girls set down to work, going over some of the routines with Gemma.

Bill Bill our stage manager has a very easy time of it, being that there are no props to sort, and before long the show is up and running in front of two sold out houses.

Fortunately Colin re checks which Travelodge we are going to tonight and finds that we are not going where we originally thought. That saved at least an hour in travelling.

So the first day of a busy week is over as we arrive at our Travelodge at 1.00am. Eight shows in four days is a tough stint, and it is an early rise tomorrow to get to Dundee.
